Urban experiences meet raw Arctic nature
Private Husky Lodge Experience
32000 NOK
1-2 guests
Stay in your own private husky lodge in Målselv, with one tailored Arctic experience for every night, time with the huskies and a wood-fired sauna.
General information
Escape to your own private lodge at a small, family-run husky farm in Målselv and experience Arctic life away from the busier tourism areas around Tromsø.
The lodge and experiences are entirely private, with no other guests joining your stay. With a maximum of six guests, the experience is designed for couples, families and small groups looking for a more personal way to experience Northern Norway.
Stay for one night or extend your visit for as long as you wish. Each night includes one private Arctic experience, adapted to the season, weather conditions and your preferences.
In winter, this may include driving your own dog team through snowy forests, dog sledding after dark, snowshoeing or learning Arctic survival skills. During summer and autumn, activities may include husky carting, canoeing and exploring the surrounding wilderness.
Time with the pack of Alaskan huskies is part of life at the lodge throughout the year.
There is no fixed itinerary. Because the stay is exclusively for your group, the programme and pace can be adapted along the way. Spend time outdoors, relax in the wood-fired sauna, enjoy dinner and quiet evenings at the lodge, and get a glimpse of everyday life at a family-run husky farm in Northern Norway.
The historic Norwegian lodge is more than 150 years old and provides a private base for your stay.
One night gives you a complete introduction to the experience. Stay longer and each additional night includes another private Arctic experience, giving you more time to slow down, explore the area and enjoy the surroundings.
No previous experience with dog sledding or the other activities is required. Activities are adapted to the group, season and conditions.

About OffTrack Experience
Private Arctic expeditions in small groups – personally hosted by locals.
OffTrack Experience is a small, host-run adventure company in the Tromsø region, offering carefully crafted Arctic experiences for private groups and small-group travellers.
We specialise in exclusive, small-scale journeys designed for guests who want a more personal and authentic way to experience Northern Norway. Instead of large groups and fast-paced tourism, our guests travel at a slower rhythm — spending time in nature, with the dogs, at sea, and with the people who live here.
Our experiences take place both on land and along the Arctic coastline, combining dogsledding, sailing and wilderness travel across seasons.
In winter, dogsledding in the Tromsø region is at the heart of what we do. Guests learn to drive their own team of sled dogs and travel through quiet Arctic landscapes where nature sets the pace. Rather than short rides, we focus on real dogsledding experiences with time, depth and a strong connection to the environment.
What truly sets OffTrack Experience apart are our overnight dogsledding tours and multi-day wilderness expeditions, taking guests further into the Arctic than typical day tours. Evenings are spent in remote nature, often under the northern lights, sharing a warm meal after a day on the trail.
At sea, we offer small-group Arctic sailing experiences along the northern Norwegian coast. From ski & sail adventures in spring to whale watching and orca snorkelling tours in early winter, our boat-based journeys follow the same philosophy: small groups, remote places, and meaningful experiences.
Whether travelling by sled or sailboat, all experiences are private or limited to very small groups, and always personally hosted by us. We share everyday Arctic life with our guests — from working with the dogs to life at sea and in the wilderness.
Food is an important part of the experience. We serve seasonal meals based on local ingredients, including wild moose, fish, and produce from the region. Vegetarian and vegan options are always available, and we are happy to accommodate dietary preferences.
OffTrack Experience is for travellers who value nature, authenticity, privacy, and local knowledge — and who are looking for Arctic experiences in Tromsø beyond traditional mass tourism.
Accessibility
Our base is located in a rural area in the Tromsø region. We offer daily pick-up from Bardufoss and private transfers from Tromsø or Narvik on request.
Due to the nature of dogsledding and wilderness travel, a moderate level of mobility is required. Please contact us to discuss individual needs.
Families and children
Dogsledding tours are generally suitable for children from around 8–10 years old.
Private trips can be adapted, and younger children may join on request.
Overnight expeditions are best suited for older children, teenagers, and adults.
Environmental certification and sustainability
OffTrack Experience has been certified by Hanen – Norwegian Ecotourism since 2021. This reflects our commitment to sustainable, small-scale tourism, respect for nature, and strong connections to local culture and food traditions.
Food service
Food is a central part of the experience, based on local and seasonal ingredients.
Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and all dietary needs can be accommodated.
